Your content is great and pretty unique brother.
you deserve it man
@@snekek1564what the fuck
Love your series! It's how I found you, and i love it!!!! Never stop making killer content Rye!!!!! 😊
I was level designer on Pirates, Vikings and Knights 2 team and man do I miss those old days when people would just play silly little games and mods for fun without worries about battlepasses, ranks or progression systems.
Thank you for your work. Me and my buddy spent a lot if time with pvk 2.
This game looks really fun, I wish I played it back in the day when it was more likely populated.
Glad you enjoyed it :)@@insertnickname I played PVK1 way too much, but with PVK2 I spend most of my time in the level editor
@@ChrispinCram Back in the day there were always at least couple hundred players online. Sure that's a tiny number compared to popular games, but just enough to get some mayhem going on whenever you want.
I absolutely loved this game and the original. Thanks!
Super cool that you ended up featuring Darkest Hour! Thanks for taking some time to try our game and show a little bit of our community. :) I'm glad you enjoyed it, you definitely gotta experience a full 64 player round with us sometime! Plus, we're going to be dropping the new Italian theater update in the next few months.
Why was your convo censored?
Why would you still be playing this?
@@kreyeacc5332 Try it and you'll find out why. :)
@@blackjacka.5097 Not sure exactly, I was giving some information and history of the game there. I'm sure Rye just wanted to be respectful and not wholesale repost a personal DM.
I might actually hop on Darkest Hour! I've been craving a good realistic FPS game & I loved Red Orchestra 2!
As a isonzo veteran i thank you for showing our game to a wider audience
its definetly a game i regret missing out on
Wait is it dead now? I have thought about getting it for a while. Figured it was going strong. Is it dead?
@@thebrokeshooter7444 it isnt there is still plenty of ppl playing at least some 4 or 3 full servers
Depends on your server, but a week ago, when I last played, it was pretty easy to get a server. So if you play at peak time, you’ll find one, if not it can be harder. I still suggest getting it though, it’s extremely fun, especially if you play it with friends.
It's not a dead game haha, just everyone is in big servers so it doesn't look like many servers are on. Definitely still worth buying at the moment
Urban Terror was EVERYTHING to my brother and I growing up.
So glad the community is still alive - the nostalgia seeing those maps brings me is insane.
same here! i was king of the pubs in my local euro area at 14/15 years lmao. Looking forward to Urban Terror HD coming out someday...
yeah it was a great game
same! I'm probably be doing a video of Urban Terror but Rye did his nice job on covering it.
I had a team, made little tournament, I was crazy good back in the days. My whole life was UrT with my cousins and a bunch of 30yr old dude when I was 13 haha, all on mumble or ts2
God I miss that time
I love Isonzo. I come back to it every once in a while. In general, at least on the moments that I play, there are about two decently filled servers, which is more than enough to have a good time. Sometimes about five players on each side, with the rest bots, can give good matches as well.
Whenever I hop on Isonzo, there's maybe 5 full servers, but could be the time differences
Seeing people explore dead games is something that I'll never get tired of. I got started by watching Josh Strife Hayes "Otherland" series, and just recently discovered this channel with its wholesome moments and encounters, combined with the most fun, casual approach possible. I guess I'm trying to say - keep making this type of content, it's fantastic.
Aw man now I need to rewatch that series
I agree. Having lived through the golden age of gaming, watching videos, especially of good commentators, really fills me with joy/nostalgia. It also kind helps fuel my passion project of making my own game.
Josh Strife Hayes is awesome. Makes great content.
@@The8thHost I know, right? I've already watched it twice. It's hard to fully process the first time through - it's a tragedy that such a beautiful looking game is just in the ground
I love Easy Red 2!!! I mostly make maps and missions in the game and I'd argue its half the fun of owning the game. This game's real potential is being an offline sandbox. Online play is a bonus and only takes one or two guys to have fun. Most map/mission makers are able to utilize the tools really well and hide some of the AI's flaws. Overall, it's basically a jank Arma 3 that runs surprisingly well and under the right circumstances is extremely immersive. Great vid Rye!
Easy Red 2 is mainly a single player game. as the multiplayer servers are all P2P with no dedicated hosting so it entirely depends on if players are hosting to see a server. it is far from dead especially with all the amazing workshop content and excellent dev marco. also you were playing workshop content not dev made maps in this video. that's why there was so many bugs.
Glad someone pointed this out, this game has no business being on a dead games list.
Verdun, Tannenberg and Isonzo are three very different games. The gunplay and such is similar but the maps are very different as they are meant to represent different styles of warfare during WWI. Verdun was really popular for a long time as it was the first but when the devs announced the sequel Tannenberg, it split the fanbase as it was a standalone game. It had some gameplay improvements but it was pretty similar so maybe it should've been DLC. Ever since Tannenberg released the games playerbase dwindled as it basically got split. I'd say Isonzo is different enough in some ways to warrant a wholely separate game but in others... not so much.
I know the devs love the games though. I did beta testing on Tannenberg and the devs care the most about historical authenticity. Verdun was made because they wanted to make a fully historically accurate game about WWI, or at the very least feel like one. I dont know if it is active or not, but they had a discord server where they would regularly just talk about history. I dont think the dev team is huge. Games are great but its a shame about the playerbase size.
Sounds like it split the playerbase and would have been better as paid DLC.
I got Verdun, played a little with my buddy and fell off. It wasn't until awhile after I saw they made other expansions
I completely agree, I loved Verdun but the player base died off pretty quick and also made me a bit sad
I played all 3 games so muchhhh
But now I’m playing hell let loose 24/7
Tribes is my childhood along with my step father and step grandfather. those were some core memories and truly the greatest hours of my life. thanks for showing off this game Rye
Well now I feel really, really old 🤣
Tribes was incredible man! The duel servers ❤
So glad to see urban terror, was my first pc fps game ever and I have many great memories on it. Jump maps are so iconic too, so much nostalgia.
Seeing tribes on here is a real throwback for me. I remember playing the original on dial up Internet. Those were the days
Urban Terror, the very best game!
Thanks for putting us in the spotlight ❤
Where do I get Urban Terror
Didn't this start off as a Quake 3 mod?
@@FlyboyHelosim absolutely, and it can still be played as a q3 mod if you'd really want to
@@BidyBiddle I thought I remembered seeing it in magazines back in the day. I never knew it was still around in any form. It was to Q3 what Counter-Strike was to Half-Life and Tactical Ops was to Unreal Tournament, when the multiplayer counter-terrorist craze started.
@@Official_Pain_Packercheck this videos description
Congrats on the 200k, just before Christmas! Lovely video to have on while editing.
i never knew about isonzo and as an italian that lives near the Piave (the river that is a map in the game) and near the Cinque Torri (another map that i saw in the video) it's crazy how good the ambientation is. i could genuinly tell where all the location in map were and it was really cool. love ya vids and keep on w/ your channel! Love frome Italy
Yeah the locations were basically modeled exactly as they are. At least the surroundings and general lay of the land. There is a dev diary talking about the devs visiting some of the locations. The only thing that bothers me personally is the names of the Caporeto, Gorizia and Sabotino maps
Strange that you didn't hear about Isonzo until now as the game got headlines on national videogame publications because of Forte Corbin, the owners of the actual place disapproved, for some reason, of the game's inclusion of the location. It sparked a decent amount of discussion, mostly people calling the owners of the fort and museum a bunch of clueless boomers.
Isonzo in European peak times, is really active. For instance,less than a week ago , there were at least 6 servers active with actual people. As someone who had started playing Verdun(since its beta days), I am so happy to see Isonzo being updated regularly!
Idk why he called Isonzo a dead game it would've made more sense if he did Verdun or tannenberg because those 2 are actually dead. Isonzo still gets updated and has 2 more expansions planned. I seem to always find a lobby with players in it.
@@devvoff Exactly. Verdun is still active on some specific days, but Tannenberg is indeed quite dead. Isonzo has the most people of all 3
Thanks for featuring Urban Terror!! I used to come home from school everyday and play Gun Game. Even after the lobbies stopped being full, I still would hop on to just enjoy jumping around the map. The movement is SOOOO FUUUN. Thanks for reminding me about this gem. I need to hop on and give it another shot.
Do it! Still plenty players!
tis is why it is so hard and frustrating joining a multiplayer game late. You're up against tons of people who just know all the tricks and places and stuff. It needs a lot of patience to do that.
Especially as someone who does not do that all the time.
I remember spending a tons of time on BST Jump on Urban Terror completing the map with the best time possible and helping other people. Such great memories.
I can't believe you put Darkest Hour here... played this many years ago and was like a constant player back then. I didn't like the direction it went with the base building and whatnot but it was a ton of fun especially when that game was like a light in the darkness for me.
My son and I used to have SO MUCH FUN playing Urban Terror together and I totally forgot it existed and those memories until watching this. Thank you and great series
Grew up on Tribes 2 and MOHAA in middle school where we had a class where it was always packed playing LAN games. Picked up on Urban Terror in high school but had honestly forgot about it. Cool to see them come up here.
What I also love about Isonzo is the realistic voicelines. As an Austrian it surprised me to hear them yell in an Austrian dialect
Our boy Rye finally 200k! When I found him, I wanna say a Lil less than 100k. Proud to be here b4 he blows up and hits 1mil. Keep it up Rye! You make my night every single night!!! 🎉🎉🎉😊
I played A LOT of DH for a few years after it released, a lot of fun memories. Used to be really good at beaning dudes with the Kar 98 from long distance.
Oh yes urban terror. I played this so much as a kid. There was a train station map and would snipe there all day long. There was some kind of castle map too .
Urban Terror has been one of my favorite games for years, my older brother got me into it back when we played quake 3 heavy. Also Tribes is so sick aerial assault on ps2 was another we played heavy, there's still a community that runs ps2 servers I play on every now and then. Having 2 of my favorites that no one ever really talk about definitely got a sub :)
I love when your videos pop up in my feed! Not only do I get to explore games I've never even heard of with still active communities, I also get to listen to the Undertale soundtrack again which is a real treat. Absolutely fantastic content, I'm so glad I found your channel!
"it's all good bro, you're here"
made me genuenly tear up followed by the emotional music you played esp in the insonzo part
never played these games myself but many others and this kinda sparked the memories
kinda crazy that i'm all the way from brasil and youtube recomended your video from nowhere, and i got shocked when the first game was urban terror, my eyes literally watered from nostalgia
it was the first game that i made friends back when i was like 11 years old, and the logo of the game its my steam profile picture for a long time. amazing video man
Man i started to play Darkest Hour regularly since June of this year, the mod is so good im glad that you covered it
Used to be better before they made it like squad...
@@masterterrorman I have seen few people mention this i wish i could had experience that era of the mod
Oh my god, i used to play PVK II a ton a bunch of years ago, nice to see it still being around
I absolutely loved Tribes ascend. The movement was so fun once you got the hang of it.
Urban terror is still one of the best games. First found it 10 years ago and still love it
ive been binging this series. You have me saving for another pc and getting back into touch with people i used to play these games with, i appreicate it
Happy to see Darkest Hour here! A lot of love is put in the game and we are still working hard on new content.
Something I enjoyed learning is that Pirates Vikings and Knights 1 was a mod for battlefield 2 of all things
I actually remember playing Isonzo for a fair bit of time. I also played Verdun aswell. Both great games but the biggest issue is that it just get's repetitive. When isonzo first came out with in 20-30 hours of the game I was racking up 80-100+ kills each game with the Officer or Marksman class. While being at the top of the leaderboard was fun after some time it just felt like the more experienced you got at the game the less interesting it got. But when you start fresh something about being cannon fodder and fearing for your character's life is what made the game fun from the start. but again my biggest issue is that once you learned the mechanics, artillery calling spots and how to overpower the entire team you become an overpowered killing machine which defeats the whole purpose of re-creating the horrors of WW1. Although this is technically not the developers fault I can't help but point out this is one of the reasons why I stopped playing the game.
one of my favorite games of all time is prolly nationstates. it has a pretty large community that have stuck with it since the very beginning in 2002. it has grown in popularity ever since and has one of the friendliest communities i have ever been apart of. i started playing in 2015 and i don't think i'll ever stop.
I freaking love this series. It’s so entertaining! 👍🏻
man Urban Terror takes me right back, used to play it in Lan Nights with friends all the time in highschool.
hey, these are my favorite videos since the last few weeks. The music and your commentary are so icocnic and amusing. Thank you and keep it up.❤
thank you for showing off urban terror game. its beeing worked on ever since its first beta. the game has a unique combination of fast pace action and some jumping skills usage that helps the better players. it might be hard at the beginning to understand all that but after some time it comes naturally as you could experiance yourself. congratz for reaching 200k subscribers. big moment for a channel like yours =)
DAMN I remember playing old urban terror movement maps, what a sick game
I love this series and your editing. Simplistic and not full of nonsense reminds me of old RUclips! Cheers bro
hey, these are my favorite videos since the last few weeks. The music and your commentary are so icocnic and amusing. Thank you and keep it up.
I am so glad you covered urban terror :) one of my teenagehood game! Which also taught me mapmaking. You actually jumped on a remake I made of a famous map (3:40) we had back then, before they switched engine.
Man, seeing urban terror just unlocked a memory I forgot I had.
i remember playing pirates, vikings and knight back in the day. when it was just a mod you needed to install manually. had a pretty big playerbase. just a fun silly game to sink some time in to. good to some people are still playing it, even if it is not a lot.
Love these! It's fun to think of these worlds people created years ago still being visited today.
i genuinely love these videos i just turned 16 and whenever i was 11-14 me and my friends would play tf2 old csgo because its all our computers could handle and thats all i really did through ym young teen years and recentley ive been feeling like ive wasted them these videos are nostalgic and sad to me at the same time and it really reminds me that even though all i did was play hose old dead games i was still with the people i cared about and thats never a wast thank you rye
Your videos are awesome. The music, storytelling, funny moments, and research. Even I feel "nostalgic" for those games I´ve never played before. Nice job! New sub here.
the "exploring dead games" series is so underrated.
you are doing a great job rye and deserve more subs.
always good to see darkest hour
Man, UT was my childhood fps, mainly because I didn't own any CS and UT was free... I have so many vivid memories of that game, of jumping around on the Swimming Pool map (game had some swimming and underwater shooting IIRC), as well as fighting for the ski-resort gondolas and falling into the icy waters below, where people were camping to shoot you down while trying to get out of the water.
I had a lot of fun, and I'm grateful to my father for introducing me to it and playing with me from time to time.
Was going to say UT wasn't free but realized you were talking about Urban Terror and not Unreal Tournament. I am surprised I never heard about it, free games back then were my jam and I was constantly checking out mods and free games. How it flew under my radar I have no clue...
Tribes was legitimately a great game series, and I had a blast playing it growing up. I still have the Tribes 2 disk from way back!
Yo, big ups for covering urban terror. Most servers are empty, but there are at least 2 ctf servers that are constantly full, and many other servers which fill and empty throughout the day either by chance or by pre-scheduled play times. The recent tourney you mentioned had over 4k games played in it. 5.0 Is coming. The devs are an all volunteer staff with all the usual other commitments, so it's slow going, but the game is currently in closed alpha testing. Also the jumping you mentioned is just the tip of the iceberg for UrT movement. It's the movement that has kept me playing all these years, the more you progress at learning the deeper the gameplay goes.
Very Happy to see Urban terror. It is fantastic and the community was always kind and inviting.
these are such fun videos to watch dude please keep this series going!
Pirates vikings knights was so good im glad you spotlighted it i remeber playing it years ago and just being surprised at all you could do for a free game!
Man, I used to quite literally inhale Tribes when it released. That game gave me something that not even CS gave me. Every single kill felt satisfying and like an achievement and playing with friends made it even better. Good times. Wish a good publisher would pick up the game and do something with it. I sincerely hope that Tribe 3 can live up to my ideas of what I wish for it to be.
I loved Tribes Ascent :( It was incredibly addicting and once you got the mid air shots down you were a GOD
Love that you covered pirates Vikings & knights, such a good game. shame it takes awhile to get a decent server with some players.
Love you vid as usual man a lot of good games you covered there.
I love the Sound between the games it already gives me goosebombs
Pirates, Vikings and Knights 2... I used to play it all the time. I think one of the problems is that the updates to it just came out too slow. When it launched there was only 1 player type for each faction with more promised... Then those updates never really came and people stoped playing. Then those updates did come but I think too late, I went back in to check things out but even then themplayer count was very low and not like when the game first launched. It had a lot going for it and a unique idea...
Also I'll say it again, you should check out Return to castle Wolfenstein Enemy Territory. I have no idea if people play it anymore...
omg Tribes Ascend. I liked this game and forget about it for many years. Thank you for bringing back good memories!
revenant is always making DH matches fun lol hes kinda annoying sometimes, but the community loves him
just subscribed today. I love your deep dives into these games man! Keep these up!
I've been on and off of "Isonzo" since day one. I find that most new players leave because it's not fast-paced, run and gun action. It's true to WWI in that you have to rush the enemy, take massive losses, and somehow wrestle away a capture or bomb by pure grit and dedication. The officers also make a world of difference, bad officers lead to losing more often than not. And if the scouts and officers aren't working in conjunction with one another, it severely hampers the team's ability to advance, or hold a position. If people communicate like they do in "Hell Let Loose" they often find themselves absolutely overwhelming the enemy. But even if nobody is talking, it's still fun to get crazy and ruin somebody's day with a bayonet to the chest, or a climbing pick to the head. I'm about to hop back into Isonzo again for the first time in two months, I don't think I'll ever actually put the game down. I hope you and your Discord community can put together some servers and just have an absolute time of it like us veterans do.
I love how you give these games justice. You give them a genuine try and try to see why they were popular, and even try to find extra info about them. There are real people who spent hundreds or thousands of hours of their life on those games, and it's definitely worth it to try and see why. I would suggest you try Tribes 1 and 2, Enemy Territory Legacy, Quake Wars, and Renegade X, as well, for the next games.
Rafterman is my family’s nickname for me. That actually caught me off guard.
Love the vids mate, keep it up
It was really nice to see Tribes Ascend. Tribes was an amazing series. My favorite of all time. I made a few life-long friends playing those games.
I've always watched your vids but realized that I've never subscribed so time to do that great videos btw its very entertaining (congrats on 200k)
noway i totally forgot about urban terror. wow the nostalgia hit me hard. thanks for reminding me about this game.
Bros videos are a mixture of funny and wholesome. Love the content keep it up !!!
Great video Rye, and I've got to say great as well to see you have Isonzo a go, games always had a small community so it's always fantastic to see someone new give it a try out, hope you did enjoy and come back to it again when they have released all the maps, still has a few to be released, also it was released last year not in 2000
I played a lot of Urban Terror and Tribes Ascend back in the day, as well as Pirates Vikings and Knights! Great video, it brought back loads of memories.
I’d recommend you try out Resistance and Liberation if it’s still available anywhere
This has been one of the best series for me to find this year. I always thought of doing this same concept, but I am glad you did. No way do I have as nice as voice as you, bro 😂😂
Oh man, randomly clicked this & seeing Tribes Ascend really sent me back. It somehow feels like it was older than 2012, but that's mostly because 2012 was a special year in its own way, where a lot of my time was filled between WoW & Tribes. Good times :')
In PVK2 you get the treasure chests and take them to your base, then the number on top goes up slowly until you get a certain point and it will determine the win. The more chests you have the faster the number goes up.
Cool content man, loving it.
Thanks!
This easily has been my favorite new “series” on RUclips
I, and a few of my friends, had a few less than official copies of a few games. Notable ones being FTL (which is a fantastic game) and some version of Urban Terror. We would play on our school's shitty computers and have a grand time doing 2v2's and messing around. I'm happy to see it's not just some figment of my bored mind from my school days. Thanks for the video!
There’s a really cool game called ‘’memories of mars’’, it’s unfortunately completely dead but it’s a weird survival game on mars. It looks good and plays alright, it’s a shame it’s been dead for years. You should give it a try.
I love the undertale soundtrack in the video. Its so nostalgic and beautiful to hear this great piece of art.
There's something beautiful about this series of videos
i love your dead game series 😭
Tribes Ascend was one of my first computer games when I was little I was shocked seeing you play it Im going to figure out how to set this up and play again
My game..... Tribes.... Seeing you play that is actually so heartwarming.
I love this series! Keep it up!
honestly love the vibe of that forest in darkest hour, very atmospheric
All I am going to say is thank you for reminding me of Tribes!! I used to religiously play this game... Like Tribes and Tribes 2 I had 100s to 1000's of hours. It was literally one of my all time favorite games.
PVK2 is insanely good game. More people should try it.
I feking love this style of content , you are like modern day archeologist , and thats why i am here . keep em coming peace bro.
I played Tannenberg the moment it went free on epic games and I really liked it. It gave me a lot of fun and although I have quickly realised there was a ton of bots, defending a trench with a few people using machine guns or holding one position consisting of a cannon and a cart for an hour alone felt great
Oh I remember Tribes Ascend. Dude the gameplay was soooo good. I really loved how the Play button was grayed out just right to keep you waiting in anticipation of maybe possibly pressing it one day.
I uninstalled shortly after and forgot the game existed.
You should show Quake Champions in one of these videos! It's almost dead, and it's basically the last Arena FPS in which you can still find games without going on Discord (though it takes a while). The game was kind of sabotaged by id and Bethesda, but it was a passion project made by og Quake devs, and it's really good, it uses the Hero Shooter framework in order to have old style Quake but with the movement types of a bunch of different Arena Shooters (including Quake World, Quake 3A, Quake 3 CPMA, Quake 4, and sort-of Unreal Tournament)
Oh wow man..I used to love urban terror.
Great vid bro ✌
Dude I played Viking pirates and knights ages ago. Wow that brought me a few a years back
